The CNRM-GAME is involved in the AMETHYST project http://anr-amethyst.net (funded by the French national research agency) that aims to analyze the co‐evolutions of the water resources under the influence of global change (climate and anthropogenic changes) and of the water uses trajectories. Two case studies will be considered : the Merguellil catchment (near Kairouan, in central Tunisia) and the Tensift region (near Marrakech, Morocco). They are emblematic of water scarcity issues, with rich complementarities in terms of environmental context, water uses, sector competitions, hydraulic history and current water policies.

Météo France (the French National Weather Service) is seeking a post-doctoral researcher to work 24 months on polarimetric quantitative precipitation estimation at X, C and S band. This project is the continuation of Météo France long-lasting investment on operational radar polarimetry, which started in 2004. Since 2004 a significant amount of work has been carried out on: data quality assessment and monitoring, artefact removal, attenuation correction, bright band identification, hydrometeor classification, impact of ground-clutter and quantitative precipitation estimation.
